GCSE PE: Muscular System - What's the difference between?

Do your students find it hard to distinguish between similar concepts?

This set of over 30 'What's the difference between?' flashcards on the muscular system allows your students to grapple with concepts such as the difference between an agonist and an antagonist, the differences in the roles of the muscles, the difference between ligaments and tendons and the difference between fibre types, to name just a few.

You can use these question cards when you introduce the muscular system to gauge the level of students' prior knowledge. Equally, they can be used during the learning of the topic and afterwards to assess knowledge and understanding. They're also great for interactive revision.

They can be projected on your whiteboard for whole class interaction or printed out (in various different sizes, in black & white as well as colour) and used as a learning resource by individual students or small groups.

Why not display them on your classroom wall, in the PE corridor, in the sports hall or in the changing rooms? There's plenty of scope to use these cards creatively to the benefit of your students.
